week two. july twenty two. georgia satellites. the essentials.

.sorry this one is a little late getting out. i didn't make it out to go cd adventuring until friday and then i was busy friday night and all day saturday working and going to the sweet basement show. but i am back now and can finally regail all with my tale of wackiness that occurred during this weeks adventure.

.i had no idea what was going to end up happening this time out. i decided the next week would be when i expand my picks to cover the entire store and not just pop rock but for this trip i decided to still keep it simple. so i got my pick from ashley at work which was Tee Twenty Six Four and with my trusty side kick jamie i headed to the store to see what it was.

.and the funny thing was it ended up being tegan and sara. which i have all the albums. but also there was no fourth cd so i had to pick another one. so since jamie was with me i let him pick the next one and just as we headed off my friend nate who works at hmv showed up and asked ARE YOU DOING THE RANDOM CD THING AGAIN. indeed i was. so off we went to go to the jay section to see what i would get. and it was almost daniel johnston. but alas there weren't any of his cd's in at all. so off we went quickly picking another set of letters and numbers. rushing to see what it would be. it was actually really crazy as we were heavily anticipating what wacky selection it could be. or lame selection. hopefully wacky. but once again when we got to the unicorns there wasn't one. curses. so one last try and first cd this time so whatever it was if there was an artist there i would get that one.

.and lo and behold i ended up with the essential georgia satellites.

.i do not know much about this band. i do know that i fell in love with the cover and back tray pictures of the band. bad ass dudes from the mid to late eighties. jean jackets. big hair. way too much chest hair.

.it was glorious.
.and i went to purchase this amazing cd.

.really it's not too bad actually. i don't mind it too much. it's just some eighties southern rock that isn't too mind blowing but it's fun and it reminds me kind of of growing up and listening to rock back in the day especially such mind blowing tracks as Keep Your Hands To Yourself and Whole Lotta Shakin. it's pretty decent. it's nothing that i think i would ever get really into but i feel as tho it's good background music. something to put in the background while working on some project or writing a letter or even on some road trip playlist. my personal favorite track tho has to be Another Chance. a jangly southern ballad with extremely twangy guitars and a heavy skynnard vibe to it. not too shabby.

.all in all not a bad little listen.
.a nice greatest hits package i would think.

.guiltily pleasurable.
